Recall voor stuurpomp in Canada
Geplaatst: 03 feb 2012, 07:22
In canada worden de R50, R52 , R53 stuurpompen teruggehaald door MINI voor een terugroepactie (eindelijk erkenning voor het probleem). Het gaat om de pre-facelift.
Zou dit dan ook in NL gaan gebeuren?
Het is ook geen recall voor de facelift modellen, waar de stuurbekrachtiging ook gewoon kuren vertoont.

On certain vehicles, the electro-hydraulic power steering pump could fail temporarily or permanently due to problems with the electronics that control the function of the pump, a failure of the pump cooling fan, or a loss of power to the pump. A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds.
Nevertheless, a loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: The electro-hydraulic power steering pump, as well as the pump cooling fan, will be subject to special extended warranty coverage of 12 years or 200,000 km from first in-service date of the vehicle.
So what about the US? As we’ve reported, the NHTSA is investigating the issue and will likely make a decision whether or not to announce a recall of their own later this year.
